Top Ten Tuesday: Books on My Winter 2024-2025 to-Read List

 

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Artsy Reader where each week they post a new top ten list and ask fellow bookish folk to share their lists on that topic.


This week the theme is: Books on My Winter 2024-2025 to-Read List:

(Click on cover for Goodreads link)

Remember When by Mary Balogh
Head Cases by John McMahon
Nemesis by Gregg Hurwitz
Cold as Hell by Kelley Armstrong

Remember When by Mary Balogh
She writes beautiful and moving historical romances! I read every new release!

Head Cases by John McMahon
FBI agents in the Pattern and Recognition unit. "Five brilliant but misfit agents tasked with solving cold cases." I'm in!

Nemesis (Orphan X #10) by Gregg Hurwitz
The Orphan X series is wonderful! Smart, fun, full of danger and action. Where justice prevails by the end!

Cold As Hell (Haven's Rock #3) by Kelley Armstrong
Of course I'm reading the newest Rockton/Haven's Rock series!


Close Your Eyes and Count to 10 by Lisa Unger
The Summer Guests by Tess Gerritsen
Famous Last Words by Gillian McAllister

Close Your Eyes and Count to 10 by Lisa Unger
A social media "hide and seek" contest on a secluded island that turns deadly. Add in a "treacherous storm" and this mystery/thriller sounds like an exciting page-turner!

The Summer Guests (The Martini Club #2) by Tess Gerritsen
Loved the first one! Maggie an ex-CIA operative retires to Maine to live a quiet life, but things don't goes as planned. Thankfully, she has a group of trusted friends, also retired intelligence, close-by for support.

Famous Last Words by Gillian McAllister
I started Wrong Place, Wrong Time earlier this year and couldn't stop listening! What a riveting mystery with a touch of the paranormal. I'm excited to pick her newest up!



Jane and Dan at the End of the World by Colleen Oakley
I read the premise and it sounded fun! Reminded me a little of of the movie Date Night with Steve Carell and Tina Fey. 

Lie's on the Serpent's Tongue (Bittersweet in the Hollow #2) by Kate Pearsall
Loved the first book! This quote from the book description is perfect: "A beautifully dark YA set in Appalachia tinged with magic, mystery, murder, and romance." I can't wait for Rowan's story!

See How They Hide (Quinn and Costa #6) by Allison Brennan
The FBI Mobile Response Team, set up to help small towns with limited policing resources is tackling a new murder case with Matt Costa and Kara Quinn at the heart of the story. Love Allison Brennan's brand of mystery/thriller/crime procedural!
